Profiles of mRNA Expression of FOXL2, P450arom, DMRT1, AMH, P450c17, SF1, ERα and AR, in Relation to Gonadal Sex Differentiation in Duck Embryo

The present study was conducted to show a profile of mRNA expression of sex-differentiation related genes in the duck gonad. Fertile duck eggs (Cherry-valley) were incubated (hatching at day 28 of incubation) and the gonads were collected at days 7, 8, 10, 12 and 15 of incubation after taking photo...
